Pillars of Eternity: Hero Edition

On the right track

This game is targeting elderly players, who had great fun playing Baldur's Gate and similar games in their own time. A smart move. We are now older and probably can afford the game and buy a mature rating game without draging our moms to the store. And they did a helluva job. The game has that familiar feeling about it, the game mechanics seem logical, and there is enough stuff to do. Even the sidequests, which I personally hate doing, are along your main path. There is no "bring grandma mushrooms from furthest point of map quests", which makes me happier. Character builds are well thought off, and any kind of playing style you prefer is easily done after some reading. I give it only four stars because of two things: First, the game is to short, and as such is missing the epicness of Baldurs Gate. But they intend to make expansions, and muster more money out, so it's only half a star less. After two or three expansions, the game will be awesome I hope, but that will bring another problem, at least to me. I would like to have scripts, like BG had, or even Dragon Age 1, with which I could order ALL of my party, including myself, what skills and spells to use when combat starts. Even now the combat is annoying me, I hate to think what it will be like after a few expansions. So, another half star less, making it a total of four stars, since everything else is just the way I like it.
